With an operating temperature range from - 40°C to 110°C and UL 224 certification, the package includes 1 black section, 48 inches (122 cm) long, with a 1/8 - inch (3.2 mm) diameter that shrinks to 1/32 inch (0.8 mm). Product dimensions per package: Height: 0.130 in, Width: 0.130 in, Length/Depth: 20.000 in, Weight: 0.960 oz.
Using this Ancor heat shrink tubing is easy. First, cut the tubing to the appropriate length for your project. Then, slide it over the object you want to protect or insulate. Next, apply heat using a heat gun. Make sure to move the heat gun evenly around the tubing to ensure uniform shrinking. Keep the heat gun at a safe distance to avoid overheating. As the tubing reaches 257°F or 125°C, it will shrink to 1/3 of its original size. When handling, don't expose the tubing to extremely high temperatures outside its operating range of - 40°C to 110°C. Store the tubing in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To maintain it, just keep it clean and free from sharp objects that could damage it.
